Halloween...

Somehow Halloween lasted all weekend for us, as I'm sure it did for many! :) I do love Halloween, but by the time Monday rolled around I was kind of ready to be done. :) But we did have a fun time. :)

So, for the past two months all Tucker has talked about is how he wanted to be a pirate for Halloween. So, I have been picking up pieces here and there over the past few weeks. I thought he was so cute for his little Pre-school party last Thursday. I don't think that he liked having so many things on his head and just on him in general! :)

Here he is before school on Thursday:

Friday night we had our ward Trunk or Treat/Chili cook-off. We couldn't get enough of this guy:

Here he is with his rocker mom, Gem...

SO...after months of prepping for a pirate on Halloween day, Tucker refused to wear his pirate costume and decided he wanted to be a ninja. A costume we have had for the past year in our basement. Which would have required NO prep! :) (and didn't)

Some of my friends even showed up and did a zombie flashmob to Thriller after the cook-off. :)

Monday morning we headed to the high school to get some more candy. Once again Tucker had to be the ninja. It was fun seeing all the high-school kids we know and in like a half hour the kids got more candy than they needed for their whole lifetime.

Of course, we spent most of the day on Monday digging through their stashes!

Monday evening we took the kids up to Kathryn's house. After, of course, the pictures by the pumpkins.

The only door Taylor knocked on...

After getting our treats from Kathryn, Tucker and Ben headed out to trick or treat around this great neighborhood that throws a party every year. While Taylor and I went home and made our annual dinner, taco soup. The boys came home, we ate dinner, ate more candy and all tried to go to bed with sugar pumping through our veins. It was a great Halloween day but I took the decorations down as soon as I could the very next day. :)
